Uses
Popular in curries such as Korma and for flavouring rice. When flavouring rice add to the pot whilst cooking and combine with whole cloves and black peppercorns for delicious result.
Use cardamom seeds in lassi, kulfi, barfi and other Indian sweets. Allow the flavour to infuse for 10 to 20 minutes before straining out. Cardamom can also be added to tea: allow to infuse then strain out before serving.
The dark brown-black seeds inside the pods can be finely ground and added to a mixed spice blend for adding a unique sweet and aromatic flavour to biscuits, cakes and puddings.
